Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The ...

The World Health Organization calls antibiotic resistance a “silent pandemic” affecting millions worldwide. But the threat ...

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the deadly drug-resistant bacteria NDM-CRE found a 70% rise in infections in the U.S. between 2019 and 2023. Also known as ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...

Additionally, bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics by obtaining copies of resistant genes. This occurs through horizontal gene transfer, a process where genetic material is transferred between ...

A groundbreaking antibiotic discovery might finally tip the balance in the global fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Scientists have unveiled a rare molecule with a fresh way to stop dangerous ...

"We found that bacteria that evolve resistance to copper also become resistant to antibiotics, possibly because they are using biological pathways that help them resist copper to also resist ...

Heavy use of antibiotics has led to bacterial strains that resist them, making some infections difficult to treat. Copper antimicrobials are increasingly used to reduce the emergence of resistant ...

The paper argues that glaciers can store antibiotic resistance genes for long periods and that climate-driven melting may ...

Infections caused by a drug-resistant bacteria once considered uncommon are surging in the United States, a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study finds. These so-called "nightmare" ...
